4. careful, friend

as you tread dangerously close to something that resembles 'hate speech' yourself. And, yes, the U.S. (understandably, but ultimately wrongly) drifted into some broad brushed xenophobic/anti-Muslim condemnation following 9/11 - and then worked very hard to pull back from that toxic and hateful 'branding'.

In the same light - all Palestinian people, nor the Palestinian 'cause' (whatever that might be) do not deserve your condemnation today. Please keep your (justifiable) outrage and approbation directed at those that who have acted deservingly - and be discerning enough to recognize that there is a difference between that and 'the Palestinians' as an aggregate.

The attacks and atrocities here received immediate, vocal, and righteous condemnation (as they should). However, that does not whitewash or erase a history going back many years. And that too (as it should) remains part of the overall picture - for people that are not bent on knee jerk reaction.
